뜻
To receive someone very warmly
문화적 배경
In Javanese culture, the concept of 'Lembah Manah' (humility) is often paired with 'tangan terbuka'. A host will often bow slightly while gesturing with open hands to show they are lower than the guest, emphasizing the guest's importance. Bali's economy relies on tourism, and 'tangan terbuka' is often used in tourism branding to show that the island is safe and welcoming to all cultures and religions. The Minang people are famous for 'Merantau' (migrating). When a 'Perantau' returns to their village (Mudik), the entire village receives them with 'tangan terbuka', regardless of their success or failure abroad. Modern Indonesian startups use this phrase to promote a 'flat hierarchy' where feedback is encouraged. It's a shift from the older, more rigid 'Bapakisme' (paternalism).
Use with 'Menerima'
While 'menyambut' is great, 'menerima' (to receive/accept) is the most common verb used with this idiom in professional settings.
Preposition Alert
Always use 'dengan'. Using 'di' or 'pada' will make you sound like a beginner.
